hi friends,

what is the difference between BAPI and BDC?

Thanks..

Hi,

Welcome to SDN.

A BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly" through ABAP code.

A BDC with call transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, it is filling screens.

Hi Amiredeen,

BAPI(Business API) which are actualy remote enabled Function modules, which can be accesed from other R/3 system also.It updates database faster than BDC call session method
